MasterChef: Lynton goes down in first elimination

The Pete Murray look-alike's crabs didn't make the cut... - by Penelope Kilby
  • 19 Apr 2020

Lynton Tapp has been eliminated from MasterChef. 

He's the very first contestant to go from the Back To Win revamp.

MUST WATCH: How the popular cooking show 'MasterChef' looked back in 1990

It was between Lynton, Courtney and Rose, but in the end, the father-of-one had some 'real problems' during his final cook.

His blue swimmer crab with buckwheat and grilled asparagus failed to make the grade.

'Guys, there's a lot of shocked faces there and, to be honest, we were shocked, too,' judge Andy Allen said of his lacklustre dish. 

'Lynton - I've said this before - you're right up there, one of the best cooks in the competition, but today just wasn't your day. 

'Your cooking is amazing, and this week, you put up some absolutely incredible dishes. You've had the highest of highs. But unfortunately, the lowest of lows.'

What a roller coaster but most of all what an amazing experience! Good luck to the legends still there, I cannot wait to see who takes it out. #MasterChefAU

Lynton was clearly devastated, but could see a silver lining to his eliminations.

'Yeah, it's unfortunate I didn't get to continue through the competition, but of course I enjoyed it. Met you guys, cooked with Gordon Ramsay, one of the greatest chefs to ever walk the planet,' he told the judges and contestants. 

'There's no downside to me. I go home to my beautiful little boy, Atticus, and my gorgeous wife.'

To his Instagram followers, Lynton described his return to the reality TV competition as a 'roller coaster'.

'What a roller coaster but most of all what an amazing experience!
Good luck to the legends still there, I cannot wait to see who takes it out.'
